Volume 5: The Age of Storms Chapter 0637 Ren Youwei and Health Products
Beep beep beep!
The tiger cub rummaged around in the armrest box, picked out a pager and handed it to Nan Yi.
Current pagers do not have signal roaming services. If Nan Yi wants to ensure that he will not lose contact in the mainland, he needs to prepare a bunch of pagers.
Nan Yi took the pager and looked at the number. "Liu Zhen is calling me, the school beauty, find a phone number."
There are few public telephone booths in Shencun, and the only way to make a phone call is to go to roadside shops. Although coin-operated public telephones were popularized in several cities in 1982, Shencun, as a special administrative region, was not among them. As for the reason, Nan Yi guessed that it was due to safety considerations.
Coin-operated public telephones are too easy to be stolen. If they were really deployed everywhere, they would become supply stations for people preparing to escape to Hong Kong. Being pried open eight times a day would be the least of their problems.
"Hello, Liu Zhen, what's going on?"
Nan Yi came to a store and called Liu Zhen.
"A man named Gao Gang called you and said he had something urgent to discuss with you."
"Why did you call your office?"
"I asked Uncle Yan to send me something, and he told me."
"Oh, did you leave your number?"
"No, I guess the number hasn't changed. When will you be back?"
"Wait a few days. I'm going to stay in the village for a few days. That's all for now. I'll call you in the evening."
Nan Yi hung up the phone and said to his boss, "Boss, I'll call again."
"Lao Gao, what do you want from me?"
"It's not an international long-distance call, right?" asked Gao Gang on the other end of the phone.
"In Shencun."
"That's perfect. Old Ren has had some problems and is short of money right now. Please help me send some money over. I'll pay you back when you return to the capital."
"How many?"
After a brief hesitation, Gao Gang said, "5,000."
"Can I still contact the number that Lao Ren left me?"
"I can't get in touch with you. I'll give you a new number." Gao Gang told Nan Yi a new number.
"Got it. I'll send it to him today."
"I... forget it, I 'll talk to you when you return to the capital."
"That's it for now."
Nan Yi then made another call and returned to the car.
Nan Yi first went to the school to visit Fan Hongdou’s teacher, and then went to Xilong Building.
There is a western restaurant on the first floor of Xilong Building with resident singers. Every night, the singers mostly cover popular songs of Hong Kong singers. More people come here to listen to songs than to eat western food.
Nan Yi came here not to listen to music or eat Western food, but purely to have a comfortable environment for conversation.
After ordering a cup of coffee, Nan Yi looked at his watch, then turned to look out the window.
Xilong Building is a 21-storey commercial and residential building. The Xianggang people doing business in Shenzhen call it "Feng Building", which means "phoenix on each floor". The upstairs are mainly occupied by Xianggang businessmen and their concubines, as well as volunteers who treat their "impulsive hyperactivity disorder".
So, there are many beauties here. You can’t play with them inappropriately, but they are still quite pleasing to the eyes when viewed from a distance.
Nan Yi had just raised his third eye when the person he was waiting for arrived.
"Nan Yi, I've retrieved the money. They're all in fifty-dollar notes. Here you are." Xian Weizhong put an envelope on the table.
Nan Yi put the envelope into his backpack, took out a folded piece of paper, unfolded it, put it on the table and slid it to Xian Weizhong, "The formula has been patented. The upper part is Xiangxun's patent number, and the lower part is the mainland's.
Each formula is held by a separate incense company, which is controlled by the Black Toad Group. A lawyer will come to you in a few days and help you become a shareholder of Black Toad. "
"The factories were all invested in by Black Toad?"
"It's not an investment, it's more like a loan. We'll see whether to convert debt into equity in the future. This part is a bit complicated, so I won't go into details with you. You can negotiate with my lawyer slowly.
There are ten products in total, including Nanbaba Children's Nutrition Oral Liquid, Mrs. Liu's Beauty Oral Liquid, Black Heart K, Brain Oil Gold, Sanjiu Oral Liquid, Turtle Pills, Universe No. 1, Moon God, Black Ant, and White Spider. When you have time, go and register the trademarks first.
We will first make the children's nutritional oral liquid. This is what I have specified. It is up to you to decide what to do next. It is also up to you whether to do all of them.
Whether you can do it well or not is up to you. I only invest money and wait for the profit sharing. You are responsible for all the specific operations. Unless you encounter something you can't handle, you don't need to tell me about the company's affairs. "
"This is not good. I am a small shareholder," said Xian Weizhong.
"Don't think of yourself as a small shareholder. Just think of me lending you money to do business, but the interest rate is higher." Nan Yi waved his hand and said, "My plan is to make a few profits and then withdraw. In the future, if you plan to continue for a long time, I will sell all my shares to you.
As for when this "future" will be, it is up to you to decide. I will sell it to you whenever you discuss the issue of shares with me."
Xian Weizhong's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Nan Yi, the conditions you offer are so good, is it because of my mother?"
"Half and half, half because of Auntie, and half because of you." Nan Yi smiled faintly, "It's very simple. I think you can help me make money. In the future, you and Auntie may become a good story."
The mother is in agriculture and the son is in the health care industry. If both are very successful, it would really become a good story.
"Can I?"
"Okay, of course. Believe in yourself. You can fight your way out of the harsh Saibei grasslands. If you can make furs, you can definitely make health products."
Nan Yi stood up, walked to Xian Weizhong, and patted his shoulder. "If you need money, contact Leng Yan. I'm leaving first. I feel uncomfortable here. Oh, by the way, soliciting prostitution is a legal issue, and keeping a lover is a moral issue."
Xian Weizhong sat in his seat and pondered over Nan Yi's words. After a while, he realized that there was something else behind Nan Yi's words.
…
Before leaving the Western restaurant in Xilong Building, Nan Yi called the number given by Gao Gang. An old lady answered the phone and spoke Hakka. After a long conversation, Nan Yi realized that the phone opposite was a public phone at a convenience store in Shajing Village.
Nan Yi wanted the old lady to ask someone named Ren to answer the phone, but the old lady replied, "My legs and feet are not convenient."
There was no other choice, so Nan Yi hung up the phone and planned to go there and conduct a thorough search.
Shajing Village is not very big, and with the two screening criteria of the grocery store and the old lady, it is not difficult to find people.
"But, what happened to Old Ren that he ended up in Shajing Village? Isn't he the vice president of Shenzhen Electronics?" Nan Yi muttered to himself as he headed towards Shajing Village.
Fortunately, before he started looking, Nan Yi saw Ren Youwei squatting at the entrance of the alley smoking.
Lonely, dusty, dejected, listless, these words can all be attributed to Ren Youwei today. Even if they are not appropriate, they can be said to be very relevant.
Nan Yi walked in front of Ren Youwei and blocked the sunlight from shining on him. Ren Youwei sensed Nan Yi's presence and raised his head in a gloomy manner.
"Do you think I look like the future Buddha?"
"Why are you here? Did Gao Gang tell you?"
"He didn't tell me what happened to you, so he asked me to send you some money. Here, here you go." Nan Yi took out two envelopes and handed them to Ren Youwei. "The thick one is from Gao Gang, 10,000 yuan, and the thin one is mine."
“This…I…”
Looking at the two envelopes in Nan Yi's hand, Ren Youwei choked up a little.
"Come on, stop being a woman." Nan Yi grabbed Ren Youwei's hand and slapped the envelope into his palm. "I live in Wenchangwei and will be back in Beijing for a while. If you have anything, come find me there."
As Nan Yi spoke, he placed two bottles of white wine that he had bought on the road next to Ren Youwei.
"You have to adjust your mentality. I don't have time to get drunk with you. I have to pick up my daughter from school."
After saying that, Nan Yi patted Ren Youwei on the shoulder, turned around and left.
After Nan Yi left, Ren Youwei was still squatting there. After smoking three more cigarettes, he finally had the mood to check the envelope.
When he opened the first one, there was a thick stack of dark brown money inside, which was Gao Gang's ten thousand yuan; when he opened the second one, there were only about thirty thin bills inside, but the bills looked very big, bigger than usual.
Ren Youwei took it out and took a look, and the bright Arabic numerals "1000" immediately entered his eyes.
"this……"
Ren Youwei looked up at the direction where Nan Yi disappeared, his eyes moist.
Nan Yi looked up at the few long-haired monsters in denim sleeveless suits twisting in front of the car, blocking their way, and he couldn't help but frown.
The school beauty honked the horn twice, but the hairy monsters pretended not to hear and continued swinging their hemorrhoids around.
Nan Yi turned his head and looked behind the car. The road was blocked by cars and it was impossible to go back.
"Nansheng, do you want to clean up?" the tiger cub turned around and asked.
"Forget it. The cost is too high and the subsequent impact is uncontrollable. We should choose the lesser of two evils. Tiger cub, take the pack of cigarettes and be more humble. They should give in."
"clear."
The tiger cub responded, took a pack of cigarettes from the glove box, opened the door and got out of the car.
About a minute later, the tiger cub returned to the car, and the external hemorrhoid blocking the road ahead was retracted and turned into an internal hemorrhoid, and the road was clear.
After the car stabilized, Nan Yi picked up the investigation report on health products that Xian Weizhong had just given him and started reading it.
The report shows that the embryonic form of the health care product industry began in the 1970s. At that time, the main product was royal jelly, and there were seven or eight brands on the market. Then in the early 1980s, several health care products such as pollen oral liquid appeared on the market, and several health-focused medicinal liquors also appeared.
After that, 851 appeared in 1985, and Angli No. 1 appeared this year. Both are still in their infancy and the products have not yet been rolled out on a large scale.
The reason why the development is so slow is that the "Drug and Health Character" system has not yet been implemented, and there is no definition of what health products are. Those who have gone to the ministry to inquire about the news are probably waiting for the results of the Ministry of Health's discussion.
Nan Yi estimated that if the relevant regulations did not come out this year, they should come out next year, otherwise he would not have enough time. He remembered that in the late 1980s, a children's oral liquid had become popular all over the country.
After reading the report and thinking about it for a while, Nan Yi put it away.
Nan Yi will no longer care about health care products in the future. He has laid a good foundation several years in advance. He can also borrow the channels of Wenchang Food Factory and has no shortage of funds. If Xian Weizhong still can't do it well, then that's his fate. Nan Yi is not destined to have wealth from health care products.
"Godfather."
The back door was opened and a beautiful girl got in.
Nan Yi looked at the time and said, "You came out so early. Isn't it your turn to be on duty today?"
"Sweeping the floor is quick, it will only be done in a few minutes. I'll run outside as soon as I finish." Fan Hongdou said, rubbing her red cheeks, taking a bottle of mineral water, opening it and taking a sip.
Nan Yi stroked Fan Hongdou's messy hair and said, "Where do you want to eat dinner? Do you want to go to your mother's store, or should we find a place?"
"If we don't go to my mom's place, the chef will still be the same. I've been eating there for two years and I'm tired of it." Fan Hongdou thought for a moment and said, "Godfather, why don't we go back and cook it ourselves?"
"Well, when I went out, I saw a frog beating tadpoles. It bullies the weak and should be punished. Let's go back and clean it up and make a beggar's frog dish."
"Yeah, I also planted two acres of taro next to the lotus pond. Godfather, I want to eat cold taro stems."
“Have you planted pumpkins yet?”
"I've planted it, godfather. Do you want to make egg yolk pumpkin flowers?"
"Just the egg yolk. I wanted to stir-fry it."
On the way back to Wenchangwei, the father and daughter discussed the dishes to be eaten in the evening. After returning to Nanzhai, they changed their clothes and went their separate ways.
Nan Yi went to catch frogs, and Fan Hongdou went to the fields to pick vegetables.
There is a unique Wenchang frog in Wenchangwei. It is very large and can grow to weigh about 4 kilograms.
Nan Yi walked about ten meters towards the rice field and caught five or six of them from a dry ditch on the side of the road, weighing about seven or eight kilograms in total.
"The quantity is a bit too much, we have to catch a batch." Looking at the fact that there were still a lot of them in the ditch, Nan Yi thought silently.
When we returned to the gate of Nanzhai, Fan Hongdou had just returned.
"Godfather, how many bullfrogs did you catch?"
"What bullfrog? It's called Wenchang frog. It was given to us by Emperor Wenchang from heaven. Children who eat it will be smart, women who eat it will be radiant, men who eat it will have that, and the elderly who eat it will live longer. Remember, you are not allowed to call it bullfrog in the future. We will sell it by gram in the future."
"Uh, godfather, this looks too much like a bullfrog, no one will believe it."
"It's okay. After a few generations of hybridization and improved genes, its appearance will change. It may even have three legs. Help godfather think about where the remaining leg went?" Nan Yi asked with a smile.
Fan Hongdou said without thinking: "The remaining leg was lent to the Dragon King of the East China Sea by Emperor Wenchang as a magic needle. Later, it was taken away by Sun Wukong and used as a golden hoop."
"Very good, you are now qualified to work as an advertising copywriter."
“Hehehe!”
